Abstract
Diagnostic assessment enables teachers to make inferences about learners’ strengths and weaknesses in the skills being taught. Teachers may provide students with diagnostic feedback to make positive changes in their learning. This pedagogical desire for classroom diagnostic assessment resonates well with formative assessment and differentiates it from clinical diagnosis. However, this formative potential to advance student learning is only realized when diagnostic feedback is used by teachers and learners. The ways in which this feedback is interpreted and utilized depend on a range of variables at individual and structural (e.g., classroom, schools, and community) levels. Questioning the assumption that learners are passive recipients of feedback, the chapter probes conditions and variables that enable or inhibit the maximal use of diagnostic feedback. While the focus of diagnosis is students’ cognitive competence, the parameters of diagnostic assessment involve more than a cognitive dimension. Viewing students as change agents in diagnostic assessment requires consideration of noncognitive learner characteristics such as students’ attitude to learning and assessment, especially their goal orientations. Students’ mastery goals are shown to be related to adaptive outcomes, persistence, and effective self‐regulatory strategies that facilitate performance on assessment tasks. Few studies have examined whether there is a direct link between students’ goal orientations and their attitudes to and use of diagnostic feedback. The chapter examines whether students’ goal orientations serve as a gateway to understanding how students may interpret assessment feedback and use it in their learning. Other structural conditions, beyond individual orientations, are also explored in order to understand the role of context, where individual learners’ attitudes and goal orientations are shaped and influenced through the interaction with other learners, teachers, parents, and social norms. The chapter examines these relationships by drawing from multiple small‐scale studies engaging English language learners, and argues that the effectiveness of diagnostic feedback is achieved when the complex nature of language learners’ goal structures situated in sociocultural learning contexts is considered.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
